Mt Sir Donald NW Ridge

- Mt Sir Donald. Took about 12 hours from the bivy site below the col. Descent took around the same time as it took up, with a lot of the time spent routefinding on the west face bypass descent.
Don't follow the line that is put up by the national park descent guide, follow the cairns instead. Most rappels were 20-25m. Cost 10 bucks for the national parks pass, and another 10 to camp at the bivy site.
To be honest, the scrambling was not that engaging or fun but the views were stellar the entire way up. The rock quality was not as solid as I'm used to, but I've basically only climbed on granite.
If soloing be careful with the holds, on some of the steeper sections I could feel some of the holds shift as I was pulling on them.
Such an authentic video, deserves more attention
Dude, as a fellow filmmaker your work consistently blows me away. Seeing your progression with camera work since I subscribed to your channel ages ago has been an awesome journey, as well as how good you’ve become at visual storytelling. You’ve definitely inspired me!
This is how climbing should be filmed, awesome stuff
Man, you are scary comfortable with EXPOSURE! great Video
Only if the climbing is easy!
Such gratitude for taking us with you on this / these adventure(s). Your videos are magic. Keep safe.
Well that earned you another subscriber - a wonderful mountain, filmed spectacularly.
Thanks Brandon
Thumbs up first before I even watch the video
Thanks Simon!
Damn, your videos are so beautiful and relaxing! It also helps to see what the route is like before I head up there. Thanks Brandon!
Thanks Luke! The climbing is fun but the scree bashing is pretty brutal after the rappels to get back to camp. It's worth it for the ~700m of scrambling to the peak though!
A rare day when the algorithms get it right putting the two guys that got me into hiking/scrambling. Amazing!!
Nice video. I did that climb on Aug. 30th, 1996.. carried a 50m, 8.5 mm rope and a set of nuts. From the bivy, 4 and 1/2 hrs. up, 5 and 1/2 hrs. down in a thunderstorm, with many rappels off slung blocks
Sounds like more of adventure than I had!
Nice video, nice mountain. thanks for posting
Very nice work filming yourself while climbing that. Loved it.
freeaking unreal man! can't believe you managed to film your climb as well as you did!
So happy to see your video, from a fellow Eurasian!!
This is an amAzing video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Great videos Brandon!
seeing this videos gives me a glimmer of hope in this life sigh but thanks!
Hiking/climbing staves off the existential crises in all of us
Why do you make it so easy man😁. Another beautiful hike, love it
It wasn't easy, I barely ate the entire day since I was so nauseous from either exhaustion or lack of sleep. Maybe both
You're Soo Good Brandon❤
Awesome video, man. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into these.
oh hell no. congrats though and you did a really good job with recording your ascent
You make the scary and hard climbs, at least for me, look so easy!
all of these thing would be easy if they were 20 ft off the ground! its the exposure and lack of any form of safety restraint that makes them seem truly terrifying to me in reality.
Great video as always. Such confidence. What is the round thing always in your back pocket? Just curious. Haha!
It's the lens cap for my camera, I probably should start leaving it in my backpack
Oh, that makes sense... I didn't think you were a chewing tobacco kind of guy. :)
Great video! love your videography work! what camera slider you used for this?
Thanks! I used the IFootage shark slider nano. It’s a 2 axis slider and I put it on the Peak Design travel tripod
Nicely done! I appreciate all of the effort to get so many camera shots, especially when you have to keep down-climbing. That "bathroom" has quite a view. Did you ascend via the NW ridge (III, 5.4)? Is the west face bypass descent less technical? I may be mistaken, but your shoes seem pretty soft relative to the mission, but as mentioned, well done.
Yup, this is the NW ridge. I met some people on route who took the W face bypass from the summit, and the general consensus was it was easier, but much looser and sketchy. I was more comfortable down climbing from the summit so I just down climbed everything, and started rappelling at station 4 (according to the climbers descent guide). I generally climb up to around 5.7’s in my approach shoes. I’m definitely glad I didn’t wear my climbing shoes for this, as it’s super long and easy! But your mileage may vary, it just depends on what you’re comfortable with.
Keep putting these videos out the videography is fantastic! Just subbed and can’t wait to see this channel explode the quality is really good. Are the panning shots done on a ronin gimbal?
Thanks Luke! The panning shot at the end was done on the Ronin RS2 using active track, but the other ones were using a 2 axis motion controller slider (IFootage Shark Slider Nano)
Nice subtle camera movements
It's the subtle ones that make a big difference :)
Beast! :)
This is cool bro. Just climbed Assiniboine (TR was in Peakbaggers group), looking at doing this soon. You based in the lower mainland? We should get out sometime.
Nice! Assiniboine has been on my list for a while. Yeah I’m based in Vancouver, I’m down!
@@BCHiking Sweet. Golden Ears range traverse?
@@exploromann Sure when the smoke clears
You're an absolute chad I had to tell you
Have you always been comfortable with that exposure? Or something you developed? Any tips for people who have fear of falling?
I've never really had a big fear of heights. I'll still get spooked if it's something on my limit and I'm unsure of my protection. For getting comfortable with falling, in the gym you can take nice soft whips. It helps having a belayer you can trust, and you can take smaller intentional falls on easy stuff until you're ready to push your grade.
@@BCHiking thanks for the tip!
He has a lot of rope on his pack at 0:39 but it disappears when he is on the climb. Where did the rope go and what was its intended use?
I used to rope to rappel! I had it in my bag during the climb
How do you do the panning shots solo?!
Motion controlled slider! I set the motion, trigger it then walk in front of the camera! I can also trigger the motion with my phone, in case I’m walking towards the camera
@@BCHiking thank you so much for the insight; much appreciated! I’d love to get into this type of videography. You set a high bar!
